Xbox HDD ready game fixes

Topics: xbox, romset, hdd

Contains fixes for several games found here:

https://archive.org/details/xbox_eng_romset

Some fixes are just a copy and paste of the missing files, some are a replacement of the "default.xbe" file, and others require copying a batch script to the game and running it from there.

Missing Files Fix: The game is missing crucial files to operate properly.

Reboot Fix: Not sure, grabbed this fix elsewhere and hoping it does what it's supposed to.

Rename Fix: All the files are there but some have bad names. A batch script is offered to fix them.

XBE Fix: There is an issue with the "default.xbe" so a replacement is offered.

Games that require fixes to work or fix certain issues:

- 007: Nightfire (Missing Files Fix)

- All Star Baseball 2004 (Reboot Fix)

- Amped 2 (Freeze & Debug to Retail Fix)

- Arctic Thunder (Missing Files Fix)

- Blood Omen 2 (Missing Files Fix)

- Burnout: Revenge (Missing Files Fix)

- Burnout 3: Takedown (Missing Files Fix)

- Enter The Matrix (XBE Fix)

- Fable - The Lost Chapters (Missing Files Fix)

- FIFA 07 (XBE Fix)

- IndyCar Series 2005 (XBE Fix)

- Inside Pitch 2003 (XBE Fix)

- Legacy of Kain: Defiance (Missing Files + XBE Fix)

- Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition Remix (Rename Fix)

- Sims 2, The (XBE Fix)

- Sims, The: Bustin Out (XBE Fix)

- Top Spin (Rename Fix)

- True Crime: New York City (Missing Files Fix)

- Voodoo Vince (Rename Fix)

- Xbox Music Mixer (XBE Fix)

Games reported not working but I did not find any issues with:

- Burnout

- Fable

- Fable: The Lost Chapters

- Fight Club

- Forza Motorsport

- Hitman: Contracts

- Psychonauts

- TOCA Race Driver 2

Process: Some fixes are taken from other places on the internet, but the majority are fixes that I created. When someone reports a game as "broken", the first thing I do is compare the files to a perfect dump of the original disc. From there I run a script that compares the files from the HDD ready collection to the files from the original disc. This tells me if any files have bad names, different bytes, or files are missing. I then use portions of the good dump to repair the bad dump. I then pack it into an XISO and test in Xemu. If all goes well, a new "fix" has been born. If the comparison ends up identical, or the default.xbe only has slight modifications to work off HDD, then it gets added to the "Reported Broken But No Issues" list.

All-Star Baseball 2004 Reboot fix
I downloaded this reboot fix that you have uploaded. When unzipping the file, there is nothing but an empty folder. I'm confused on what I'm supposed to do with this or how it could even fix anything.

Also, Midnight Club 3 DUB Edition, Top Spin, and Voodoo Vince have batch files that need to be ran. The Instructions say to drop the batch file in the base folder and run. When doing this, the files are not being found. I've never ran these scripts before so idk what's going on. I've even tried placing them in the folders with the files they are looking for with no luck.

Subject: Addressing comments so far

@AF3000000: Thanks for the heads up on the Top Spin script, it's been fixed. As for Midnight Club 3, you can just copy it to a shorter path and apply the fix. I just tested and it works.

@rarson: I just checked the default.xbe that comes with the game in "HDD ready set" compared to the fix and both are identical in a hex editor. Chances are, it is already included.

@Alec Maxfield: Looks like yes, there is something wrong with the modified default.xbe supplied with FIFA 07. While the usual bits were modified to make it work on HDD for Xbox, I also found some corrupted bits when comparing to the original file. Fixing those allows it to get past the freeze on Xemu. I have posted a modified default.xbe that should hopefully work on both console and emulators, please test!

@Compaq226: Took a look at "Burnout", could not find any issues. No missing or corrupt files, default.xbe is the only file modified from original and only includes the usual changes to make it work off HDD. So unfortunately, whatever happened it probably wasn't due to the rip being bad.

Subject: Can you fix burnout

I dont know if it was just me but burnout is broke. It deleted my dashboard and after reinstalling unleashx dashboard it didnt want to run. It was froze at the loading screen.

Subject: This is handy...

But it's missing a fix for Fight Club. I won't link directly to the one I found since it's hosted by Mega, but you can find it via Google. There may be more that are missing, I just happened to stumble upon this game when I wanted to try it out of curiosity.

Subject: HDD Fix Script for Top Spin

Thanks for this providing these fixes. I noticed that the Top Spin batch script doesn't work because the folder location is incorrect; its missing "\Media\" in the beginning.

@echo off
echo Top Spin - Folder Name Repair Script
echo.
echo Repairing folder names...
set Base=%~dp0

echo.
set Path="%Base%\Media\PlayerCreatorMenuParMedia"
set Dest="%Base%\Media\PlayerCreatorMenuPart"
echo Fixing:
echo %Path%
echo %Dest%
move /y %Path% %Dest% >nul

echo.
echo Finished! Press any key to exit.
pause >nul

Also I cant seem to use the Midnight Club 3 Dub Edition Remix .bat because its not actually renaming them as the filename is too long for Windows.
